本申请涉及显示技术领域,具体而言,本申请涉及一种液晶手写板及其控制方法。The present application relates to the field of display technology, and in particular, the present application relates to a liquid crystal tablet and a control method thereof.
背景技术Background technique
液晶手写板作为一种简易的输入设备,可实现文字书写和绘画要求,受到广大用户的青睐。目前液晶手写板大多是借助于一种双稳态液晶,为了方便局部擦除,在下基板上设置有阵列排布的像素单元,每个像素单元通过薄膜晶体管独立控制,可以使得擦除单元做到更小。对液晶手写板进行擦除时,需要使擦除区内的薄膜晶体管开启,使非擦除区内的薄膜晶体管关断。As a simple input device, the LCD tablet can meet the requirements of writing and drawing, and is favored by the majority of users. At present, most of the liquid crystal tablet use a bistable liquid crystal. In order to facilitate local erasing, pixel units arranged in an array are arranged on the lower substrate. Each pixel unit is independently controlled by a thin film transistor, so that the erasing unit can be smaller. When erasing the liquid crystal tablet, it is necessary to turn on the thin film transistors in the erasing area and turn off the thin film transistors in the non-erasing area.
然而,现有的液晶手写板中,非擦除区内的部分薄膜晶体管会出现无法完全关断的情况,导致非擦除区内的部分薄膜晶体管存在漏电流,由此使非擦除区中出现被误擦的现象。However, in the existing liquid crystal tablet, some thin film transistors in the non-erased area may not be completely turned off, resulting in leakage current of some thin film transistors in the non-erased area. The phenomenon of being erased by mistake occurs.

液晶手写板作为液晶手写板的一种,具有功耗低且笔迹清晰的优势,近年来占据了较多的市场份额。液晶手写板通常包括相对设置的两个基板,以及位于两个基板之间的双稳态液晶层,双稳态液晶层中包括双稳态液晶分子。双稳态液晶分子具有平面织构状态(Planar Texture;简称:P态)、焦锥织构状态(Focal Conic Texture;简称:FC态)和垂直织构状态(Hometropic Texture;简称:H态)。其中,P态和FC态是稳定状态,无需电压即可保持,H态为不稳定状态,在持续发送电压时呈现。As a kind of liquid crystal tablet, the LCD tablet has the advantages of low power consumption and clear handwriting, and has occupied more market shares in recent years. A liquid crystal tablet generally includes two substrates disposed opposite to each other, and a bistable liquid crystal layer located between the two substrates, and the bistable liquid crystal layer includes bistable liquid crystal molecules. Bistable liquid crystal molecules have a planar texture state (Planar Texture; abbreviated: P state), a focal conic texture state (Focal Conic Texture; abbreviated: FC state) and a hometropic texture state (Hometropic Texture; abbreviated: H state). Among them, the P state and the FC state are stable states that can be maintained without a voltage, and the H state is an unstable state that appears when a voltage is continuously sent.
当液晶手写板受到外部压力时,双稳态液晶层中的双稳态液晶分子在外部压力作用下翻转为P态,可以反射可见光,液晶手写板受到外部压力的区域显示书写的笔迹;需要擦除笔迹时,控制擦除区内的薄膜晶体管开启并对薄膜晶体管发送源极电压,以对擦除区内的像素电极进行充电,使擦除区内的像素电极与公共电极之间形成电压差,因此位于擦除区的双稳态液晶分子在该电压差的作用下,重新排列为FC态,不反射可见光,擦除区内书写的笔迹可被擦除;同时控制非擦除区内的像素电极不充电,非擦除区内的笔迹不发生变化,由此可实现液晶手写板的局部擦除。When the liquid crystal tablet is subjected to external pressure, the bistable liquid crystal molecules in the bistable liquid crystal layer are turned to P state under the action of external pressure, which can reflect visible light, and the area of the liquid crystal tablet subjected to external pressure displays the written handwriting; need to wipe When removing handwriting, control the thin film transistor in the erasing area to turn on and send the source voltage to the thin film transistor to charge the pixel electrode in the erasing area, so that a voltage difference is formed between the pixel electrode and the common electrode in the erasing area , so the bistable liquid crystal molecules located in the erasing area are rearranged to the FC state under the action of the voltage difference, do not reflect visible light, and the handwriting written in the erasing area can be erased; The pixel electrode is not charged, and the handwriting in the non-erasing area does not change, thereby realizing partial erasing of the liquid crystal tablet.
具体的,请参阅图1、图2和图4,对擦除区21所对应的薄膜晶体管100发送源极电压(与擦除区21内的薄膜晶体管100所处同一列的薄膜晶体管100也同样被施加了源极电压,位于其他列的薄膜晶体管100上不加载源极电压),同时通过栅极线101对擦除区21内的薄膜晶体管100发送栅极开启电压(与擦除区21内的薄膜晶体管100所处同一行的薄膜晶体管100也同样被施加了栅极开启电压),通过栅极线101对与擦除区21内的薄膜晶体管100不同行的薄膜晶体管100(即图4中的目标区,目标区为非擦除区所包括的区域)施加栅极关断电压。被同时施加了栅极开启电压和源极电压的薄膜晶体管100(即图4中擦除区内的薄膜晶体管100)开启,擦除区21内的像素电极130被充电,擦除区21内的像素电极130与公共电极之间形成电压差,位于擦除区21内的双稳态液晶分子在该电压差的作用下重新翻转为FC态,擦除区21内书写的笔迹可被擦除。非擦除区22内的薄膜晶体管100处于关断状态,非擦除区22内的像素电极130不充电,非擦除区22内的笔迹不发生变化。Specifically, please refer to FIG. 1 , FIG. 2 and FIG. 4 , the source voltage is sent to the
本申请的发明人考虑到,由于随着使用时间的增加液晶分子会变得难以发生翻转,因此需要使像素电极和公共电极之间形成更大的电压差,即需要给薄膜晶体管发送更大的源极电压。然而,随着源极电压的增大,薄膜晶体管的转移特性曲线会发生偏移,使薄膜晶体管关断的栅极关断电压也会发生变化(一般认为薄膜晶体管的漏电流在小于10-10A时处于关断状态)。结合图1和图2和图4所示,当源极电压增大时,若发送给非擦除区22中的第一子目标区和第二子目标区的薄膜晶体管100的栅极关断电压保持不变,第一子目标区和第二子目标区可以作为目标区,会造成非擦除区22中的第二子目标区的薄膜晶体管100(图4中与擦除区21内的薄膜晶体管100位于同一列的薄膜晶体管100)无法完全关断,第二子目标区内的像素电极会被充电,导致位于第二子目标区的双稳态液晶分子发生偏转,在宏观上表现为非擦除区内的笔迹也被擦除,即出现了误擦除现象,这对于液晶手写板的使用造成了影响。The inventors of the present application have considered that since the liquid crystal molecules will become difficult to flip as the usage time increases, a larger voltage difference needs to be formed between the pixel electrode and the common electrode, that is, a larger voltage difference needs to be sent to the thin film transistor. source voltage. However, as the source voltage increases, the transfer characteristic curve of the thin film transistor will shift, and the gate turn-off voltage that turns the thin film transistor off will also change (it is generally considered that the leakage current of the thin film transistor is less than10-10 A is in the off state). 1, 2 and 4, when the source voltage increases, if the gates of the

可选的,在本申请的实施例中,对擦除区内的薄膜晶体管以及与擦除区内的薄膜晶体管连接同一条数据线的薄膜晶体管发送源极电压,包括:Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, sending source voltages to the thin film transistors in the erasing area and the thin film transistors connected to the same data line as the thin film transistors in the erasing area includes:
根据预存的源极电压与源极电压的持续发送时间的对应关系,确定与当前的源极电压所对应的预设时间;Determine the preset time corresponding to the current source voltage according to the pre-stored correspondence between the source voltage and the continuous transmission time of the source voltage;
控制源极电压的持续发送时间,使持续发送时间为预设时间。Control the continuous transmission time of the source voltage, so that the continuous transmission time is a preset time.
可选的,在本申请的实施例中,驱动模块122还被配置预存源极电压的大小以及源极电压持续发送时间的对应关系;以及根据源极电压的大小控制源极电压的持续发送时间,使持续发送时间在预设时间范围内。具体的,源极电压的持续时间可以通过实际的擦除测试进行确定,对于沟道长宽比为50μm/4μm的薄膜晶体管100,当源极电压为20V时,源极电压(说明是高电平)的持续发送时间为200至300毫秒时擦除效果为理想(不会出现误擦除现象),当源极电压为40V时,源极电压(说明是高电平)的持续发送时间为50至100毫秒时擦除效果为理想。通过测试,得到不同的源极电压下擦除效果较为理想时的源极电压持续发送时间,并将不同的源极电压以及持续发送时间的数据(即源极电压和持续发送时间的对应关系)预存至存储模块124中。在液晶手写板10的使用过程中,根据源极电压的大小,确定与源极电压所对应的持续时间(预设时间范围),然后对薄膜晶体管100发送源极电压时使源极电压的持续时间在预设时间范围内,即按照预设时间范围发送源极电压。通过控制源极电压的持续发送时间,可以减少像素电极130的充电时间,因此即使非擦除区22域的薄膜晶体管100存在一定的漏电流,子目标区内的像素电极130也不会被充分充电,由此避免了子目标区内的液晶分子翻转,进一步地降低了出现误擦除的风险。Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the
可选的,在本申请的实施例中,液晶手写板还包括检测装置,将栅极开启电压发送给擦除区内的薄膜晶体管,包括:Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the liquid crystal tablet further includes a detection device that sends the gate turn-on voltage to the thin film transistor in the erasing area, including:
检测发送至擦除区内的薄膜晶体管的源极电压;detecting the source voltage sent to the thin film transistor in the erased region;
根据源极电压以及预存的栅极开启电压与源极电压的对应关系,确定是否需要对栅极开启电压进行调节,若需要进行调节,则对栅极开启电压调节后发送给擦除区内的薄膜晶体管,否则直接将栅极开启电压发送给所述擦除区内的薄膜晶体管。According to the source voltage and the corresponding relationship between the pre-stored gate turn-on voltage and the source voltage, it is determined whether the gate turn-on voltage needs to be adjusted. Otherwise, the gate turn-on voltage is directly sent to the thin film transistor in the erasing area.
具体的,在制作液晶手写板10之前,对液晶手写板10中准备采用的薄膜晶体管100进行测试。对薄膜晶体管100的源极发送一个固定电压,然后对薄膜晶体管100的栅极发送不同的电压,并测量薄膜晶体管100在不同的栅极电压下漏极电流的大小,将不同的栅极电压与漏极电流的数值记录下来,并绘制成曲线,即可得到薄膜晶体管100的转移特性曲线。薄膜晶体管100的漏极电流与源极电压以及薄膜晶体管100的自身结构特性(薄膜晶体管100的沟道长宽比)相关。在本申请的实施例中,薄膜晶体管100的沟道长宽比为50μm/4μm,如图6和图7所示,通过测量得到薄膜晶体管100在不同的源极电压下的转移特性曲线,从转移特性曲线中可得不同的源极电压下每条转移特性曲线中的输出电流和对应的栅极电压,即栅极关断电压与源极电压的对应关系,将栅极关断电压与源极电压的对应关系作为预设条件预存至存储模块124中。Specifically, before the
检测装置123还被配置为在液晶手写板进行擦除时实时检测发送至擦除区21薄膜晶体管100的源极电压,并根据栅极关断电压与源极电压的对应关系调节栅极开启电压的大小。具体的,根据测试得到的薄膜晶体管100的转移特性曲线,可以确定使薄膜晶体管100的输出电流大于或者等于10-5A,所需要的栅极开启电压。例如,如图7所示,当源极电压为20V时,若要使薄膜晶体管100的输出电流大于10-5A,则需要使栅极开启电压大于15V。调节模块121将栅极开启电压的大小调整至15V以上后,驱动模块122发送调节后的栅极开启电压,以使擦除区21内的薄膜晶体管100的输出电流大于或者等于10-5A。如图7所示,当源极电压为40V时,若要使薄膜晶体管100的输出电流大于10-5A,则需要使栅极开启电压大于25V。调节模块121将栅极开启电压的大小调整至15V以上后,驱动模块122发送调节后的栅极开启电压,以使擦除区21内的薄膜晶体管100的输出电流大于或者等于10-5A。The
通过实时检测发送至擦除区21薄膜晶体管100的源极电压,并根据栅极开启电压与源极电压的对应关系调节栅极开启电压的大小,可以使擦除区21内的薄膜晶体管100的输出电流足够大,由此使擦除区21内的像素电极130能够被更好的充电,有利于改善擦除效果。By detecting the source voltage of the
